A member asked:
Can vomiting give you a heart attack, why would an ecg be done when you're having vomiting and diarrhea?

AMI: Acute myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) can atypically present with nausea and vomiting.. The ecg, among other tests, will help to exclude this. Vomiting, in and by itself, is very very unlikely to stress you enough to cause a heart attack.
